You could but why? Just go to an electrical supply store an ask for a double pole single throw toggle switch that is rated for a motor.

Most any good hardware store will stock them. Should be less than ten bucks.

Very happy with it. I believe he is a member here. I like the military style safety cover. I will probably replace all of my 10ER switches with them as I can get to them ....
